There were plenty of congratulations going on around social media Wednesday night as Bill C-262 passed second reading.

It passed 217-76 with only the Conservative party voting against it.

It asks the federal government to fully adopt the principles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).

Conservative shadow minister of Indigenous affairs Cathy McLeod believes the bill is being rushed through Parliament. It started a debate between her and Indigenous Services Parliamentary Secretary Don Rusnak on N2N’s political panel.
